All this started of as a leak!!!

Anyway, found a leak in the Mini last weekend..My OCD took over and straight away though 'MEGA DETAIL' :D

Anyway plan was to take carpet out and dry and wash it..

So seats, trim and carpet came out but I couldnt stop there!!!

Headliners come out for a good old clean too, door cards are coming off tomorrow along with most of the dash.

Some photos of how it is now...attached

Also, who ever had it before must have had dogs, there was dog hair in every possible place.

And Glass everywhere from a previous sunroof break.

Anyway, everything is going to have a proper clean before it goes in, some parts are being carbon fiber wrapped and some of the trim changed, including the worn stearing wheel..

I'll try keep this post updated over the next few weeks with my progress..

Right...had another day off work..

Decided against ripping all the dash out, just gonne take the bits out being covered when I get to that stage.

Finnished APCing the inside down, gave all the metal the SRP treatment and a coat of Megs Tech 2 wax (OTT I know)

Then it was on to the seats, pretty much the same treatment as the carpet but introduced the trusty nail brush.
